LOVE Island's Adam Collard took a cheeky swipe at his ex girlfriend's partner on Celebs Go Dating – sparking a war of words with the fellow reality TV star.
The Geordie was asked which celebrity he hated the most during an interview on the E4 series and named Zara McDermott's boyfriend Sam Thompson.
Adam, 27, and Zara, 26, dated for nine months back in 2018, and when Sam caught wind of the swipe he made a point of hitting back on his podcast Staying Relevant with Pete Wicks.

"Do you know what, I'm finally someone else's nemesis and it's f*****g Adam Collard."
"I would like to be someone's nemesis that I could be like, oh that's f****g cool."
